Understanding the normal functions of the body is essential for successful veterinary practice and for understanding the mechanisms of disease. The 5th edition of Textbook of Veterinary Physiology approaches this vast subject in a practical, user-friendly way that helps you understand how key concepts relate to clinical practice. From cell physiology to body system function to homeostasis and immune function, this comprehensive text gives you the solid foundation you need to provide effective veterinary care.

Key Features

Clinical Correlations boxes present case studies that illustrate how to apply physiology principles and concepts to the diagnosis and treatment of veterinary patients.

Key Points at the beginning of each chapter introduce new concepts and help you prepare for exams.

Practice questions at the end of each chapter test your understanding of what you’ve just read and provide valuable review for exams.

Full-color format highlights helpful information and enhances learning with a wealth of illustrations that visually depict specific functions and conditions.

New to This Edition

Expanded resources on the companion Evolve website include state-of-the-art 3D animations, practice questions, a glossary, and additional Clinical Correlations not found in the text.
